When Judge Carey Moore disallows suspected murderer Karl Dahl's "prior bad acts" in his upcoming trial for the vicious killing of a mother and her two children, she ignites a firestorm of controversy in the city of Minneapolis. But Detective Sam Kovac and his partner Nikki Liska agree that the judge doesn't deserve the beating she gets from a "mugger" later that same night. When they take the call, they can see past Carey's battered face to her incredible strength and beauty. Although none of that matters when Dahl escapes custody, and soon after, the judge is abducted. Sam and Nikki have a slew of suspects, from Carey's cheating husband to the murdered woman's surviving son and the angry cop who found the victims - and can't forget what he saw. Could one of them have decided to take justice into his own hands?
